Where the hell do you put a 20 gallon tank, that would be crazy espcially since you have nathans., thats something I would be interested in.

I'll let the picture do the talking...



I have cleaned up the wiring since that picture was taken. I just couldn't bring myself to mount that horn under the truck.

such a nice setup.....gotta love the k's
and x2 on solenoid/valve might be a problem. and definitely get some bigger/better horns and a 5 gallon tank, or just get another small tank and run them together to the new horns with a possibly bigger valve/solenoid.

It's an $1100 WeatherGuard all steel toolbox that weighs over 200 lbs empty. I cut a hole in the bottom of it, and if I ever take the horn out, I will just weld a piece of steel back into the hole.
